Non Degree Seeking Students

Graduate non degree students are defined as any student who has completed an undergraduate degree and is interested in taking courses without being enrolled into a program

Note: This includes students who are interested in taking an undergraduate course, but have already graduated with a degree

Admission and course enrollment do not imply and should not be mistaken for admission into a graduate program at the University of Portland

Non degree seeking students cannot accumulate more than nine credit hours at the University of Portland

Courses taken by students in the non degree seeking status may not be applicable toward requirements for a master's degree
